Sorry to hear about your car. Ours is out of action at the moment too.

Hope you survived your nephew

Hi all,

Things are going okay here, through the first week of the Easter hols. Today I have had a day of solid housework and food shopping so I can relax for our next few days off.

Tomorrow we are going to go geocaching along the coast which will only cost us parking. Then Sunday we have a clean slate day so need to fill it will something fun. Monday we are going to the zoo. Both my girls have sponsored animals so have free tickets to get in, they are excited to see their names on plaques by their animals!

Then back to work

Starnac- I hope your car is back on the road now. Ours is okay for the min so we have to decide to replace it or just go with it until the part in question goes wrong!

Morning Diaryland!

I hope everyone is well.

Just plodding on here. We have had a good month money wise so far though I have had a few expenses. Hubby paid £500 off his cc which is great. I am trying my hardest to have £247 left to pay off the xmas money which has sat there. But it is hard as I have some bits to come out and food to buy as well as a couple of meals out!

We are selling on eb@y and FB as well as hubby doing an out of work website for a friend to make some money towards our holiday for spending money. I know may will be taken up with money for the holiday but it will be nice to pay some debt back too.

Even if we can only do £200 I will be pleased.

Will adjust figures in a min as the £500 will be a great drop 😃

I should be in bed but I am still mooching about!

I am so pleased our total is under £2.5k :j

I currently have £90 left to use if I want to keep £247 to get rid of the xmas debt . Trouble is payday is so far away!

If I do manage to pay off the £247 then hubby and I can do the planned £100 each in May so we can get it under £2k. That will feel amazing!

Currently I am listing on the bay of e to raise spending money for our holiday. Only on about £50 at the mo but have a lot more to list. With hubby's website money it would be nice to make £200 towards spending so we only have to put £300 towards it to make out £500 goal. We will pay fuel by card when we are out there and plan to eat in with perhaps just two lunches out and one dinner. We are only there 6 nights.

Better get to bed as I have my nephew tomorrow and I want to get up and plant my tortoise seeds so I can grow my little man some edible plants

Well done getting below £2.5k :T and hope the plan for seeing below £2k comes good as well. Fantastic milestones and closer steps to DF.

Hope the weather is as good with you today as here - sunshine again and the weekend, my favourite combo

Hi all,

Hi Orange Fairy


I've followed you for a while as you seem very organised and motivated about repaying your debt while still having fun. We are a bit further away from being debt free but hopefully next year. Good luck with your target of August, I'm sure you'll reach it

hi Mrs Toast (love your name)

Lovely to see a new comment on my diary.

Today has been a day of just a 50p expense for a can of beans so not bad

Listed another 6 items on the bay of e 😃 so hopefully with have some sales next week-will all be low value sales but it soon adds up!

I need to buy some new work trousers and leggings which is an expense I coukc do with out :mad: will see if I can get some cheap- trouble is I am only 5 foot which means I need to go to particular places to buy petite length!

Oh and I reached my 1 stone weight loss today!!! I am very pleased!
